Employee Assaulted For Putting ‘Too Many Pickles’ on a Sandwich

The employee apparently didn't make the steak and cheese sub the right way.

A Saturday at a sub shop in Quincy quickly turned into a situation that left one employee in a real pickle.

According to MBTA Transit Police, Tina Drouin, 49, will be summonsed to Quincy District Court on assault charges, after she allegedly attacked a worker at the Nathanâs Famous Hot Dog store at the Quincy Center station because the worker placed too many condiments on her order.

Police said as the employee âdutifully prepared her sub,â Drouin began shouting that she was âputting too much s***â on the steak and cheese sandwich. The report said the suspect requested a refund for the food, but was denied, at which point she assaulted the sub maker by punching her in the face, before pushing âtwo large very heavy jars filled with pickles and pickle juiceâ towards the employee, causing them to smash on the ground, shattering into pieces.

According to police, Drouin fled the station, but the employee refused to let her get away. âThe sub-maker, determined not to let Drouin escape justice, gave pursuit catching up to her on Hancock Street near Quincy City Hall and holding her until Transit [and] Quincy Police arrived,â according to the report. Droiun complained of neck injuries and was transported to a local hospital. Police say the suspect told them that the âwhole incident began over âtoo many pickles.ââ
